You will enter a descriptive name for your mining rig as well as its hashrate. But be sure to enter the correct measurement units for your rig’s hashrate

b. Next select the algorithm that your rig will mine on. Be sure to select the one that is appropriate for your hardware and software combination

c. Next choose the server that is located closest to your physically.

d. After that, select your pricing option. A value of yes will choose a competitive market value based on other rentals. No will require you to enter your price manually. If you are unsure you can leave it on automatic. Once you are satisfied with all the entries, click ‘Create New Rig’.

Step 5: Edit the Rig

b. Next click ‘Add Pool’ to add your first pool. Here you will see how to manually add a pool.

c. You will enter the connection information as follows:

Pool Host: This will be the host:port of the pool you want to mine on when your rig isn’t rented

Workername: is whatever worker name you have configured on your pool. Sometimes this will be in ‘WALLET_ADDRESS.workername’, other times it will be ‘USERNAME.workername’

Password usually is defaulted to ‘x’ unless you have configured it otherwise

d. When you are done, click save

e. Your pool will now show up on the ‘Pool Configuration’ page:

f. , if you have a backup pool, you can add that as well. If not, proceed to step 7. Here you will see how to add a pool that has already been saved on mining rig rentals. Click ‘

g. Then from the window click the ‘Select Existing Pool’ dropdown and choose the pool you wish to use:

h. Once you choose it, the information will automatically populate and then you may click ‘Save’

i. On this screen you will now see however many pools you entered. You can change the priority using the up and down arrows on the right hand side. Once you are satisfied you may proceed to step 7.

Step 7: Enter Rig Description

Here you will add a description to your rig. This will help describe your rig to potential renters. Use something that will assure your potential renters that your rig is right for them. From the top navigation bar click rig settings

b. From the menu options on the right half of the Rig Settings screen, click the orange ‘Rig Description’ button

c. Enter your description in the text box and then click the green ‘Update’ button

Step 8: Connect Miner

At this stage you are ready to connect the miner. At the top left, click the ‘Connection information’ tab.

b. You will be presented with something similar to the following:

c. There are two important pieces of information to locate from the above text. Number 1: The server address/port number. Number 2: The username to connect with. In the above example the server url/port is:

Us-west01.miningrigrentals.com:3333

And the username is:

rigtutorials101.59599

These two pieces of information will be used to connect the rig to MRR. Now it is time to locate your miner software mentioned in the prerequisites section. Once there, you will need to create a *.bat (batch) file in order to start your miner. This can be done by opening notepad, or any other text editor. Inside you will enter the commands used to start the mining software and tell it where to connect (MRR). Most miners use similar syntax such as the following

Take note of the server/port in red and the username in blue, this shows different examples of different miners using the same information in different syntax.

d. In the case of this example, we will be using the first example. So enter your pertinent information into notepad. Then click File->Save As

e. Change the ‘Save as Type’ dropdown to ‘All files’

f. And erase the ‘*.txt’ in File name and enter ‘start.bat’. Ensure that the path is pointing to the same folder as your mining software and hit save

g. Once that is done, you are ready to test the connection. Open the folder containing the miner and the batch file you just created and double click the start.bat file. Once you see it connected to MRR and your pool and it has begun hashing you can leave it alone for now.

h. If you get an error or something doesn’t work, double check the syntax for your mining software and be sure you used the correct server, port and username from MRR.

i. After a few moments, under the ‘Workers’ tab on your rig configuration page, you should see your worker’s connection and its hashrate. This verifies that everything is working and your rig is in fact connected properly.

j. You can use this section, as well as the live hashrate section to monitor your rigs and make sure they are performing the way you want them to.

Step 9: Update Pricing

Now you are ready to price your rig. Click the ‘Pricing’ tab at the top left of the rig configuration screen

b. Here you can price your rig a couple of different ways. With automatic pricing, your rig will be priced automatically based on other available rigs of the same algorithm. If you select no, you will need to enter a price manually. Note the error on the bottom of the price screen saying that the minimum rental price is too low. This means that you either need to adjust the minimum hours to rent (on the settings page) or you need to adjust the Price per KH Day. As you can see below, the error disappears when you modify the price to meet that criteria:

c. Additionally, there are LTC and ETH tabs, which allow you to control whether or not you accept those currencies as payment for your rental.

d. Choosing to enable these currencies allows you to accept them as payment. The auto pricing option, if enabled, just converts your BTC price into the respective currency using the GDAX conversion rate. If you select no, then you will need to manually enter the LTC or ETH price.

e. Once you are satisfied with the entries in the pricing section, click

Step 10: Update Availability

The final step is to mark your rig as available. To do this, click the ‘Settings’ tab at the top, and then change the dropdown from ‘Unavailable’ to ‘Available’

b. Change it to this:

c. Then scroll down and click . Congratulations! You have listed your first rig on MiningRigRentals.com!
